[sci.med.aids] AIDS & ALLERGIES

Pierce.Barclays@f462.n204.z1.fidonet.org (Pierce Barclays) (12/05/89)

I heard from a friend that there was a study a couple of years ago showing a  
correlation between rate of infection/development and allergy.  Evidently  
persons with highly developed allergies showed a slower rate of infection and  
subsequent progression of AIDS than those without allergies.
 
Has anyone heard of this study or similar ones?  I'd like to get enough  
information to locate a reprint.  I happened to mention this to my allergist,  
and he was fascinated and asked me to let him know if I located the study write  
up.
 
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!
